There’s a lot of talk in both conventional and alternative medicine about Th1 and Th2 “dominance.” If you’ve been researching autoimmune thyroid disease, there is no doubt you have come across these buzzwords in books and blogs on the Internet.

Being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition is a frightening experience. I know because I’ve been there. I was diagnosed with lupus and Hashimoto’s ten years ago. I don’t have either condition anymore. I’m completely cured. I have no more symptoms and no more antibodies! I’ve helped hundreds of people to so the same.

It only took me a couple of years of research in autoimmunity before I began to see the physiological connections between chronic stress (emotional, infectious, and toxic), and chronic illness. Needless to say, I was dumbfounded at how our medical system could be missing these connections.
